Like there is a tier list for heroes in SE, is there one for alies too?
If there was one then who would be tier 1 allies? (specifically in Humans)
for example,
Tier 1:
Aeon
Armored Sandworm
Aldon the Brave
Jasmine
Irina
???

There are some allies that are definitely useless for most decks, and others that are generally good. But a lot of it does depend on which hero and style you are using. Like Brimstone Devourer. Useless really in a deck with no ability to discard him, really cool in decks that can.
And about Irina, how exactly is she broken in Ythan and useless for mages? She doesn't get 3 attacks because of Ythan, twice means only twice, using Ythan's effect on her would be a waste. And you could still use her in a mage deck, maybe a human mage portal deck to attack twice. Might not be the best deck to put her in, but not useless.

I was trying to give an example but I guess I failed badly. I meant that certain allies become better than others depending on what your deck goal is. If I wanted a plague resource destruction theme then Sandra would be much more efficient than any other ally.
I agree that allies can generally not be split into tiers. However, there are many popular allies that can easily find their place in most decks. For humans there's Aldon the Brave, Layarian Seductress, Armored Sandworm, Fleet-footed Messenger etc.
For shadows there's Infernal Gargoyle, Ironhide Karash, Death Mage Thaddeus, Shadow Knight etc.

Hmm... maybe Class specific tier list?

This classification would be a lot more complicated then hero list. Because power levels of allies are meant to be different depending on casting cast but there are also class specific allies meant to be "better" than same cc range allies in faction (although that's often may not be the case, but they still bring sort of flavor to class/tribe). So if I am to do tier list I would do for each cc separate list.

Well, a better measure would be to list the trash allies, as in, allies that NEVER see play, regardless of the deck type. Katrin the Shieldmaiden comes to mind.
